House Anxiety Renewed.

25 January 2016

Selling a house is bad for my heart. I now have an offer from a sort of a dream-buyer. Wealthy, pre-approved, good price, etc. I’ll be happy to sell it to him. All the normal stipulations in the contract plus one I had never heard of: invasive stucco inspection. This involves drilling some holes in the stucco and reading for moisture.

Now, I know that there’ve been leaks, and I disclosed them. To my knowledge, they’ve all been fixed for some time, and I don’t have any reason to believe there’s a problem. But I have had enough problems with this house that I’m terrified that maybe there’s one more I didn’t know about. That I don’t want to know about. The last thing I want is to have a problem in the stucco that makes me take the house off the market and fix for $30,000.

I am so done owning homes.

There have been major problems with stucco down here. And I believe there was a class action lawsuit. Sorry that you are having stress over this. I get it though. Owning a house is great, but going to buy or sell one can be a real pain.
